Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Entertaining, funny and surprisingly suspenseful a times, Coraline is the perfect movie for your little one...and for the child in all of us. Rated: A Sep 12, 2017 Full Review Tom Charity CNN.com Coraline never stops taking artistic risks. I hope there's a brave enough audience out there willing to take the plunge. Nov 17, 2014 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News All involved in this production deserve praise for turning Coraline into a triumph of storytelling and cinematic technology. Whether you're young, middle-age or older, you'll adore it. Rated: A- Nov 17, 2014 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Fear is an integral part of childhood development, so if you have children, show them Coraline and expose them to imagination and the possibility of dreams and all the frightening aspects therein. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Think Dr. Seuss by way of Edward Gorey, all executed with the creative flair and painstaking detail that Henry Selick brought to 'The Nightmare Before Christmas.' Apr 8, 2023 Full Review Allison Rose FlickDirect Coraline is a stop-motion masterpiece. Rated: 5/5 Dec 13, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Corey K Studio Laika’s best Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Noe G Coraline is my number 1 best animated film of 2009 and my rating is a 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Reagan Still one of my favorites!! I love this movie so much, I highly recommend watching it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Thoroughly entertaining, suspenseful and creepy (in a good way). The ending is amazing. In my opinion this movie teaches you to appreciate what you have in life, to appreciate your family, your true friends and that everything you "think" you want and enjoy is not necessarily as it seems. I personally loved this movie because I relate. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review James E A great example of stop motion, every frame pays attention and nothing feels out of place. The story is creepy and cute simultaneously in a way that is hard to pull off, but it is done so masterfully. There isn't too much time explaining lore and motivations, which is to the benefit of the movie, as it focuses on its message and getting things done, which is refreshing. The voice cast is stellar and the actors all play their parts well. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review Patrisha l I loved this movie so i bought it on bluray ive watched it at least 10 times Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
